Two movies I was really looking forward to were released this weekend, and I had the chance to see/review both.
First up was War 2, the latest in the YRF Spy Universe.
My full review is on Trashwire here, or check out the YouTube review below.
Next was Coolie, which was one of my most anticipated movies of the year. But did it live up to the hype?
Here’s what I had to say about it on Trashwire or check out the video review on YouTube below.
I was lucky enough to see Dune early and review it for Trashwire. You can check out my quick TikTok review below or watch it on Instagram and YouTube.
I saw this movie with a group of film critics in a press-only screening and we were laughing so loudly we couldn’t hear the dialogue, if that tells you anything.
Quick review on TikTok
I had the chance to review the new Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Trashwire. This movie is long and the subject matter is difficult, but I was fully engrossed throughout the three-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Most surprising was that I didn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance. Something about it just didn’t click for me. Maybe it was the fake teeth, maybe the fact that everyone kept referring to him as “son” or “that boy” when we all know he’s almost 50, but there were a few times when he kind of took me out of the movie.
Lily Gladstone was the standout and she is incredible! I certainly hope she’s in the awards conversation this year.
Here are my quick thoughts on Tiktok. My full review is on Trashwire here and you can follow me on Letterboxd right here to see what I’m watching.
I had heard good things about Past Lives, but it was even better than I’d hoped. Such impactful use of silence and lingering shots! This movie is going to stick with me for a while.
